A touch saucy and spicy on the nose, but there’s also plenty of plum and berry fruit. Laudable texture and color, with just enough butter and vanilla on the finish to give it a creamy, rich aftertaste. A good entry into the ever-growing global Syrah sweepstakes.

Violet and pretty, with a forceful bouquet that starts out rustic before finding its stride. The palate is flush with fruit, primarily black currant and boysenberry. The finish, however, is not too long and loses clarity quickly.
